Success Story #1

"I was notified by Officer Kumar of a report he had received regarding the theft of a child’s bike. He learned that in the time since the theft (over a year,) the child’s mother had been unable to afford a new bike for him. This led to him having to borrow friends bike. We used the funds to buy the juvenile a brand new bike and helmet. He was extremely happy when it was presented to him." - Officer Steiner

Success Story #2

"Child was taken into protective custody by Officers for neglect. I responded to transport the child to KPD pending CPS pick up. I purchased a happy meal from McDonalds for the child." - Officer Melville

Success Story #3

"A grandmother called 911 to report she had received a phone call from her 19 year old granddaughter who advised she was with her mother and two younger sisters at an unknown location in downtown Kent. The 19 year old advised she was scared as the family was homeless and was unsure where they could go. Ofc. Lentz responded and was able to locate the family at the library. Ofc. Lentz contacted me asking about resources to assist the family. Officers were able to get them in touch with Project Be Free who assisted in providing the family a hotel room for the night. However, the family had only eaten one meal that whole day. I provided my card to Ofc. Lentz who purchased the family a meal from McDonald's while I responded to Ramada to transport their luggage to their room so they could rest easy the rest of the evening. A few days later, the father took the time to contact Kent PD in an effort to thank officers for assisting his family. I was thankful we had the necessary resources to assist the family how we could and to see how much it meant to the rest of their family. " - Officer Bertolacci
